When you finished your Local Community Fund online application you’ll have seen a screen, which thanked you for your application. Unfortunately, we’ve realised that a fault in the system means not all completed applications were saved.

How to check your online application was received

1. Check for an email from ‘noreply@causes.coop.co.uk’ or search the subject header ‘Thanks, We’ve got your Co-op Local Community Fund application’. This email contains the following message:

Hello Name Surname

Thanks for your application.

Now we’ve got it, we’ll be working with the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF).

CAF might contact you if we need further information or to ask for your bank details if you’re not registered with them.

You don’t need to do anything else for now, we’ll contact you by November 2017 to let you know if you’re successful.

Many thanks
Co-op Local Community Fund Team

2. If you can find the email there’s nothing you need to do – we’ll be in contact in November.

Thanks for letting us know about this. I made an application of behalf of King’s Arms Project (Bedford) in August 2017 but don’t appear to have a confirmation email. I tried to access the online form on the blog but it doesn’t appear to be working. Our postcode is MK42 9AZ and we are currently receiving support from the fund for a different project.

Is there any chance that you can confirm if the application has been received?

I submitted an application for the Aberdeen Mountain Rescue Team and I havent heard anything back. I cant seem the access the system and it is now saying my area is closed to bids?? Can you please let me know how I should approach this and if we have got in??

Hi there,
When I enter our charity postcode, it seems like you are not accepting applications anymore for the area. However, when I checked yesterday it was still open with a closing date on the 30th August, any reason for this?
Many thanks

Hello Co op, we are a local foodbank in North Paddington. Our name is North Paddington Foodbank. We just wanted to double check if you’re considering supporting foodbanks in Paddington, London?
Many thanks!

Hello – we are the current charity partner of 3 of the Leeds city centre stores. I was given the deadline of 8th August to reapply to be considered for the next round of support. I went onto the website on the morning of that day to submit my application and it informed me that applications were closed for this area. I was gutted as we really wanted the opportunity to continue the great work the stores are doing for us and build on that relationship. The store manager has asked me to look at trying again in case it was this technical error but it is still not letting me.
Can you help?
Thanks
Ellie

I have made an application and have no email confirmation. I have submitted the form twice to see whether you have received my application but have no response from that either. Do I need to apply again? Or will you advise soon whether you have my application for Artbeat Studios Hawick?

Hi we applied for this rouod and we didn’t receive the confirmation email. I filled out the form above to have it checked on the 19/8 and haven’t heard anything yet . I’m getting worried and don’t want to miss out being in the running. Any Help you can give we would be grateful

Hello Ruth, I filled in a Local Community Fund Application online application around the 1st August for the Bute Elderly Befrienders part of our Cowal Elderly Befrienders SCIO project. I have had no confirmation so far. I also filled in the ‘simple form’ mentioned above but have not had a reply from that either. Can you advise me here? Thank you Robin

Hi Paula, the opportunity for new applications has now closed, however, as this blog post references, if you applied before the deadline and didn’t receive a confirmation please fill in the form above. Thanks ^Catherine

I applied and was sent an email confirming my application was received and I would be contacted in January 2018 to advise if my application had been successful. However, your email says people would be contacted in November 2017.

Can you clarify my application for the Chris Mitchell Foundation was received and whether I’ll find out if it was successful or not in November 2017, or January 2018.

Hi – I completed your online application form for the Local Community Fund and have not heard anything. I also completed the form attached to this email to check if you received my application and have not heard back from this either! Shall I just go ahead and resubmit my application from the start to be on the safe side?

I completed an application form and have submitted your query form but have not had a response to say whether it was received.
Charity name is CHAT (Community Health Around Torpoint) postcode PL11 2AJ / PL11 2AA

Hi Rebecca. To be clear, you applied to the Local Community Fund but did not receive a confirmation email so you filled in the form linked to from this blog post and haven’t heard back from us regarding that form submission? ^Jordan

Hi Tracy. No need to respond to us now. I’ve just checked. Receipt of this email is proof your application was received. The date in this email is incorrect, we’ll be in touch by November 2017. Sorry for all the confusion! ^Jordan

Hi Kerry, indeed. If you were one of the 4,000 Local Causes to receive the funding in April, you can apply again, as long as it’s for a different project. Applications close 30 August, http://coop.uk/2w6g4bL ^Jordan
